      Cheers guys, some very good suggestions there! I think some tan/sand coloured paint on the vest is a must as its so shiny. From the pics I've seen I think some 80's pattern temperate trousers may do the job, and they seem to be more readily available than the old desert pattern.

        Does anyone know where to get pre soldier 95 desert trousers?

        Would the assault vest be sprayed/camouflaged? It's a little shiny at the moment!

        What type/make is the vest you have on in the pic please?

        Not the 72 patt is it?

        As for trs,the Gulf91 type are available on that well known auction site.

        As for paint,in the early days(60s/70s) dont think there was a specific desert coloured paint for vehicles etc as there was back in 91 and now so if going to paint webbing,weapon etc i would look for some Brit/Nato desert colour.

        As to the pink coloured vehicles of the 60s/70s-was just flicking through a 1971 edition of Soldier mag and on the cover are 2 "pink" Saladins with the text" the colour was produced by mixing red lead paint with conventional buff paint and dusting with fine sand before it dries"

          I believe it is a more modern copy of the 72 pattern vest, its essentially two big nylon pouches sewn onto a mesh base, with a large rucksack type pouch on the back.

                For the vest I'd take it off to somewhere dusty and spend 5 minutes kicking it around the place, it's the only way to get it scruffy and dusty. Perhaps give it a little bit of spray glue/spray mount beforehand.

                for painting the weapons a 2" paintbrush and whatever correctly coloured paint you have to hand will do the trick if you want to be authentic, they would've used whatever is to hand so go for it.

                I have a set of GW1 combats that I am unlikely to use again, feel free to get in touch if you are interested.

                  Looks like they used a light white paint, or maybe a chalk based paste, which was then rubbed down?

                    Could you use an old school m4 for this loadout? Like an m727?

                        i no this is off subject,but doesn,t it get too hot,and then too cold for the airsoft guns gear to be kept in the attick,or is it ok,ie no problems thus caused to your gear/guns.

                          I've had no problems with the guns, but its boarded out and insulated so its always quite warm up there.

                            Good to see someone else is into SAS GW1 loadouts, thats my thing!!! Yeah mate if you want to get serious about a Gw1 SAS loadout then you need to get the paint out on your gun and your kit. From all the photos ive seen the m203s were painted white/tan-esp the two guys standing in the b20 book. you could easily do this by getting humbrol spray paints matt white and desert yellow and just putting it on any old way- ul notice most seem to have been done in 2secs! its about breaking up the shape/colour, not a work of art.

                            look out for some OG PLCE webbing too. If your just doing it for airsofting & not reenacting i wouldnt get too hung up on the right trousers mate -solder95desert trousers are the same except for the buttons. simple as that. If you are totally serious on getting it right then youll need the real vest and not the Silvermans copy youre wearing. I have that and an original too and theyre really different! Though the real one is Fucking Hard to get-took me nearly 12 years to track one down!!!! ive attached it for you to see. but as i say if its just for airsoft then dont worry about it mate. my Silvermans copy looks better now that ive painted it up like McNabs!!..coz Fuck painting the original!!

                            You could also look into getting an SAS Arctic smock aswell as these were used amongst a load of other stuff!! the good thing is there is a shit load of photos out there of them and many different loadouts to try!!! hope this helps!

                              Am i right in thinking that at the time the desert SAS/Windproof smock wasnt an issue item(unlike now) and so the ones seen were commercial items?

                                I think they were 1940 pattern smocks.
